Hi everyone,
 
Just wanted to get some feedback and assistance with my planted aquarium. I'm currently using co2 in my tank, lights and dosing Flourish Excel and Flourish Trace as recommended on the bottle. The plants have certinaly grown although I'm wanting to get that lushious green look happening much more in the tank.
 
Can anyone recommend a good / better fert to be using? Is there anything else I should be doing?
 
Thanks.
 
If dosing CO2 and Flourish Excel you need some ferts containing N&P or the plants will use it all u quick and you'll get deficiencies.

Lights are 2 T5s for 6 hours and another 2 for 4 hours. I am using ferts with N&P (with the trace) although Is there a better one available or that you suggest?
 
Do you have hard water?
If you're dosing good liquid ferts often it's just a bit of extra Calcium that makes the difference as you can't put that in a Complete fert.
 
IMO
